Scheme outline

Construction of a new single two-lane road bypassing Poynton to the west, which will connect the existing A523 to the south of the town with the new A555 Manchester Airport Eastern Link Road to the north.

Plans for a bypass of Poynton on roughly this line have existed for decades. In the past, however, the route was far less direct, having to travel around the north and east of the runway at Woodford Aerodrome. This has now closed, so the road is now planned to cross the site of the runway on an almost straight trajectory.
